third-party rack cabinet solution for non-Compaq branded racks
Because not all customers use Compaq branded racks, the server design supports deployment in
third-party rack cabinets. HP offers a Third-Party Rack Cabinet kit to use in installing ProLiant
DL320 Generation 2 servers in third-party racks. This kit includes variable length rack rails that
are compatible with a variety of third-party racks. The Third-Party Rack Cabinet kit can be
installed in racks that are 610 mm (21 in) to 740 mm (29.13 in) deep.
IMPORTANT: Always install the HP Third-Party Rack Cabinet kit when deploying a ProLiant
DL320 Generation 2 server in a third-party rack. The kit supports the same cable management
solution that the standard fixed rack rail solution uses.
telco rack solution
Many data centers use telco racks. The server design supports deployment in telco racks. HP
offers a telco rack kit for installing ProLiant DL320 Generation 2 servers in telco racks. This kit
includes rack rails and screws that are compatible with a variety of telco racks. The telco rack kit
includes replacement server rails designed to fit on the server. Before deploying servers into a
telco rack, remove the standard server rails and replace them with the telco server rails included
in the telco rack kit.
